Four buildings from 2026.

Commissioned by the architects for publication, award entries and their own archive.

Layered honeycomb facade of a museum photographed from below

Kitahama, Osaka · Oda Architects

Kitahama Museum of Craft

A hexagonal cell facade that turns flat at noon. We shot the north face at 6:40 on the third morning, when the low sun gave each cell its own shadow.

White cubic modernist house with sharp shadows under a blue sky

Shukugawa, Nishinomiya · Mori Hayes Studio

House in Shukugawa

Three white volumes on a sloping lot. Summer light, polarised sky, and a long lens from across the river to keep the boxes square.

Warm toned spiral ramp curving around an oval void

Nakanoshima, Osaka · Atelier Kuroda

Nakanoshima Library Annex

One ramp, four floors, no stairs. The oval void was lit from the skylight for about an hour either side of noon, so the whole interior was shot in two short windows.

Black and white brutalist tower photographed from directly below

Osaka and Tokyo · Personal work

Tower studies

An ongoing series shot straight up from the pavement, one tower at a time. Black and white where the material asks for it.
